School Companion Fourteen Years ago.
Louisville Cou rier journal
FERRYvILLE, ALA, Sept. I5.-A strange
white man, VINO some months ago settled
in the neighborhood Of Fairview, giving
the name Of George Wakes, took sick
When the doctor told him his case was
hopeless, he sent for Mr. Adams, and
askiI g to be left alone, he made most
remarkable confession lie said to him:
"My time has come to die, and l want
you to see that what have 10 tell you IS
made public. My name is not George
Wakes, but Lee Simmons. l WAS born in
Dallas, Tex. and am now twenty
wears iage. My father, whose name was
William Simmons is dead, and is buried
at Evergreen, Tex. Ny mothers maiden
name was L2nford. When l last heard
of her she was living at Ouachita Sta
ton, Ouechlta county, Ark. After father
died, AID when l Wes but thirteen years
of age, my mother sent me to school.
There cousin OF ny own name was my
companion. One Day IN returning home
got mad with him. | went home, got
my fathers shotgun, watched for my
cousin, and shot him dead. That night l
stayed out until the family went to bed,
when | stole in fer my clothes, and since
that night I have not looked upon the
face OF my mother. Ny people are all
wealthy, and when they hear l an buried
here they will send for my body"
He then went on 70 say that from the
age OF thirteen TO twenty seven he had
never stayed a whole month in one place
He made mis- way through the Indians
overland TO California, followed the Pa
ciic coast north, and IN time, returning
to the States, had traveled:over every one
Of them, always being haunted by the
memory OF his crime and feeling remorse
for his abandonment Of his mother. As
the hour Of death approached, he grew
plaintjye in his proteststions, but at
no time would he allow his attendants
TO remove the covering from
his person. 1t was not until death
had removed his power OF resistance that
the reason was made plain. There We're
found upon MS Body seventeen eashes
cut with q knife, from one and half to
seven inches lorg. These scars were on
mis- sides. On his back were two g:shes,
one three inches, the other seven inches
lorg. The scar CT bullet wound was
found On his right arm. 1t looked as if
he had run the gantlet Of many hard

To the Editor Of the Gazette
What criminal thoughtlessness that this
bird, the friend of the farmers ard thus of
US all, should at any time be rifced
for moments wantoa sport,
There sre few birds that are not OF
service to US. Marsh in his Man and
Nature says:
"An unfortun2teI popular error greatly mag
nifies the injury done TO the crops of grain and
leZuminous vegetables by Wild birds. Very
many OF those generally supposed to consume
large quantities OF the seeds Of the cultivated
plants really feed almost exclusively upon in
sec and frequent wheat fields, not for the
sake OF the grain, but for the eggs, larv2 and
fly of the multiplied Tribes OF insect life which
are so destructive to the harvests. This fact
has been so well established by the exam
inattJn of the stomsCh5 Of great nun bPrs of
birds in Europe and the United States at differ
ent seasons of the year, that II is no longer
open TO DOUBT; and 1t appears highly probable
that even the species viii consume more or
less grain generally make amends by destroy
ing insects whose ravages would have been
still more I'M lrious. Even the common crow
has found apologists. and It hiss been asserted
that he pays for the Indian corn he consume
by destroying the worms and laryR whfch Ia
feet that plant. Professor TreadWeu q Massa-
chusetts found that half grown robinin con
nnement ate IN one day sixty-etsht worms,
weighing together nearly once and hsIf ss
much as the bird himself and another shsd
previously starved upon daily sllowanceoi

Success in Money Making.

Eighty years ago an awkward, ungainly
country boy was keeping store for his uncle in
Anne Arundel county, about forty miles from
Baltimore. He was shrewd and attentive.
He made more money out Of the store than
his uncle had ever done. When he was "a his
uncle asked him IL he would like to go into
business for himself. He replied that be did
not have money enough. His uncle offered to
start him The result was that the young
man took a warehouse near that of the uncle,
and succeeded so well that in year or SO be
was able to buy his uncle out. His fortune
grew rapidly. He never misapplied SO much
as a cent Every penny was precious in his
eyes. Money making became his mania;
wealth his one desire. On a certain occasion,
after much talk, he persuaded a man to let
him have a so cent article for 40 cents
"Why is it," asked friend, that a man Of
your great wealth should want to add few
cents like that to his fortune?"
"The pleasure of possession, sir; the pleasure
of possession" was his reply.
The shrewd, stingy man was Johns Hopkins.
His business foresight was almost an inspira-
ton. He never lost money in an investment
He saw the future of the Baltimore and Ohio
road. He bought largely of its stock. This
brought him in close relationship with John
W. Garrett The two became firm friends
They were the money powers of Baltimore

Mrs. Stoves Eliza.

Some of the ingenious correspondents are
taking advantage Of the death of Mr.. Beecher
to locate the residence and fix the personality
of that well known creation of his sister,
Uncle Tom. That is simple moonshine; but
there is something else, in the same line, that
they might well be able to do. Mrs. Stoves
Eliza, escaping from Boone county, KY,
farm. with two Of her children, actually
crossed the Ohio on floating ice, just below
this city, and took refuge in house in what
is now known as Rat row. There she cut the
throat of her prettiest child with piece Of
iron hoop. The whole story is told in the
first volume of Mr.. Greeley's American Con-
flict. r-Cincnnati Enquirer
